Sink repair for Fairbourne Heath homes

Landlord and trade work in Fairbourne Heath

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we handle sink repair in Fairbourne Heath

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fairbourne Heath. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
